αβxCOMMENT This is the (new) system library of ETV macros. The
librarian is REF. Please send (copiously commented) additions to him.
Most of the macros in this file can be used by loading the appropriate
macro page into your E core image. This is done with the extended
execute command. Thus, to get the horizontal attachment and copying
macros on the next page, one would type to E:
<control>xEXE [1,3](3)<carriage return>
Some of these macros, however, might require modification
to suit your purposes. For example, you probably would want to use the
find macros on page 8 to find stuff in your own files. Copy that
macro page to your own file, modify the macros to suit yourself, and
then execute that page.
Have fun.

αβxcomment REF - Horizontal attach and copy
These macros are for horizontal attachments. Calling the macro HA inserts
a mark in the line (a <vt>), and aborts. Resuming under another
character picks up everything from the original mark to that character,
and places it in the horizontal attachment buffer. Doing a further
"resume", or calling the macros HD or HAB will deposit that text in a line.
Doing a deposit at the end of a line unfortunately leaves you in line
insert mode.
HC will do a copy, rather than an attach. HSAVE will save your horizontal
attach buffer in the macro HD1. Invoking the macro HD will also deposit
your horizontal attach buffer.

αβxcomment LIS - counting macros
The macro inc is the basic counting macro. It assumes that the arrow
is at a line containing only a number, represented as a string of decimal
digits. Inc adds one to this number, and leaves the result on the line
in place of the old number. Inc can handle numbers up to about 100 digits
long, and could be fixed to handle numbers as long as will fit in the line
editor.
Inc operates by separating the last digit, and turning it into a macro call
of the form incnx where x is the digit. This macro call is then executed.
The incnx macros all replace the given digit with its successor, and incn9
also causes a carry, by repeating the process of turning the last digit into
a macro call. There are also some things to make inc properly extend numbers
(carry off the left-most digit), and the macro close which concatenates
the number back together on one line again.
The macros initn, add1n, and nextn use the macro n as a register - it
holds an integer represented as a string of decimal digits. Initn sets n to
0. Add1n increments n by 1. Nextn increments n by 1 and inserts a new
line where the arrow is pointing, with the new value of n as its contents.
(All three of these do a ctrl-cr before anything else, to exit the line
editor and line insert mode.)
BEWARE! INC changes the value of the STOPONE/STOPALL/STOPZERO switch
(leaving it set to STOPALL). Also, a mark at the number line will be lost.
